Thread: Something we've known for a long time exposed in this article

Another thought, when I first started shaving the only person I had as a reference was a TV commercial with some male model shaving. I mean I had to ask my Mom to buy me some shaving stuff. So I just got what was cheap and available. This was when cartridges were fairly inexpensive. My dad was not there for my first shave. I just put the goo on my face and swiped away. The companies made shaving fairly easy if a less interesting chore in my life. But I always knew something was missing.

We live in a fast paced world and the notion of finishing a daily chore in the shortest amount of time has become a staple of modern life. Once you stop and question this idea, you find the older ways were often better. Shaving is one of these areas. The cost of shaving with a cartridge started a lot of us in the direction of wet shaving, but it was not the only reason. Slowing down is just a bye product of this reasoning.

As long as the big two razor companies can make the money they get from not changing anything they won't change. Until someone comes by and rocks their boat.
